Import Tips & Compliance

Document tonnage capacity and stroke length to distinguish from forging presses; incorrect sizing leads to reclassification under 8462.41

Provide proof of numerical control software version for duty-free eligibility under certain trade agreements

Avoid pitfalls by labeling as 'cold metalworking only' to prevent scrutiny under semiconductor equipment notes
